Bible Question:
Country Girl says: "Similarly a human being can about God's Word and respond in a very reasonable manner and simply obey His commands and become His child for the rest of his/her life. Clearly most people would agree No Miracle there." Not only are you incorrect of your undersatnding of the new birth, your entirely missing the point. The new birth which is recorded in the Bible, is a supernatural act of God upon a individual dead in trespasses and sin. Your also mistaken to say that obedience produces the new birth. The new birth is God actuated. Are you attempting to say that being born again is not Biblical? If thats the case then you should reveiew the following Scriptures 1 Pet. 1:3 NASB Blessed be the GOD and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has CAUSED US TO BE BORN AGAIN to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, BORN, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but OF GOD. John 1:13 EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN of water and OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:5 John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT is spirit. |
Bible Answer: (CEV) Galatians 3:21b ...If ANY law could give life to us, we could become acceptable to God by obeying that law. Basically, Paul is stating that if the observance of any law, regulation, commandment or ordinance could put one right with God, then it would have been given. Jesus would not have needed to die...there would have been no Calvary...no sacrifice...no atonement...ONLY obedience to law. (CEV) Galatians 3:2 I want to know only one thing. How were you given God's Spirit? Was it by obeying the Law of Moses or by hearing about Christ and having faith in him? 3 How can you be so stupid? Do you think that by yourself you can complete what God's Spirit started in you? 4 Have you gone through all of this for nothing? Is it all really for nothing? 5 God gives you his Spirit and works miracles in you. But does he do this because you obey the Law of Moses or because you have heard about Christ and have faith in him? 6 The Scriptures say that God accepted Abraham because Abraham had faith. 7 And so, you should understand that everyone who has faith is a child of Abraham. |
